I am the Other
Catalyst to the quantum mind
I am the other
Subject to no will or design
To each other we can
Never lie…
I'm in your mind as much as
You're in mine
I can show you
A self beyond yourself
You must choose to
Accept and follow or deny
The other implies
Cracks appear in the perimeter I’ve drawn
Revealing the light beyond
To let it penetrate me
I put you in my place
I cannot stay…
You ask me to ask myself
Show me sketches of you drawing me
Like faces in a superposition
Some intimidate and some entice me
To stray toward the aberrant light
Or cling to the security of the self?
The other implies
I am an image in a shell
That I hold in my hand
Comforting, limiting
Yet to change
There is reluctance and fear...
Put trust in discerning
Let the light crack the shell
Erase the lines that I’ve drawn
Become an image with no shape
No outline
I am the Other
Subject to no will or design
To stray toward the aberrant light
Or cling to the security of the self?
The other implies
